That's not the way I heard it.

It was in response to a question by a CP who asked MMY: if an 
enlightened man can do anything and you, MMY, are enlightened, why 
don't you just make us all enlightened?

And the answer was: yes, I could do that but it would take 10 strong 
men to hold you down (presumably because the force of the stress 
release would be so intense).
